Adding a Little Character to the Yard...


As spring will soon be coming, and winter will take a rest,
we should prepare for nicer weather which will hopefully be the best.
Preparing to start the garden during spring or summer this year
will help to show we'd like to add a little something to give the yard more life and cheer.
The cheer will appear by the sight of tulips, lillys, gladiolas, and lillys of the vally
while also having much light added to it with each little tally.

In later months, the backyard may see that a vegtable garden can also add a little glee,
which is ment for you and me.
Tomato, pepper, thyme, and bay leaves plants can add just enough calmness to the yard
so that we feel we won't have to be on guard.
If we happen to also plant zuccini, followed by cucumber, those vines may add just enough
to let the garden's volume come to quite a number.

When we discover that we have gotten a wonderful crop, we will feel as though we are on the top.
We'll share this crop with others, to see them happy when receiving a nice and fresh vegtable or herb.
It will also allow them to see how nice and important sharing with others can be before even reaching
the curb.

As our garden produces more and more vegtables and herbs, it will be shown that this outperformed the soil's tending. However, the tending must be done if we want the garden to have a happy ending.
Some of the crops may then be given onto others. Thanks may then be offered by those who received.
We shall be quite grateful for the thanks that they gave. Thus, both sides received benefits in a way.
Nice thoughts about both acts shall remain in our minds forevermore.


Mom's Birthday Poem

Mother, happy wishes are now due to a nice woman who happens to be you.
They come along on a special day which is, of course, your birthday.
Years don't matter, as you know; it is your acts of kindness that really glow.

The way your heartbeats and thoughts are truely used proves your personality is truely in the groove.
That is a kind and thoughtful, helpful and caring manner, so it shows others it deserves a red banner.


Astronomy Can Be Lovely

During the night we may be looking at a starry sky
and possibly see lights from a plane go by.
It may then be decided to search for constellations
along with other members of the Milky Way galaxy of planetary nations.
As groups of stars are found that form various views
we may then look in a book to find out which ones we are referring to.
If we then decide to share a cup of tea while searching for more,
we will most likely be lost in the moment wondering what is furthermore.


RI Cold

The temperature outside has dropped way below the Rhode Island norm.
Last night it even dropped below zero and was an awfully windy storm.

If people needed to go outside, they really had to bundle up.
Both the wind and chill were letting us know this battle won't be easy to win,
so we definately need to have some luck.

With some hope and prayers to the Father, we have better chances to prevail.
But we must remember that nature's ways can always alter and confuse our thoughts,
and then possibly cause us to wail.


Jesus Christ, God's Son

Time has come within the year for us to celebrate the Lord's birth with cheer.
Christ was sent from Above through Mother Mary, who was born to be God's helper, filled with love.
On Christmas Day, we agree to share gifts with one another, which are ment to remind us Jesus is God's gift, and our sacred Brother.
Since Father and Son are one, His birth must have been such a sight, so we exchange gifts with others on this Holy Day full of might.
The exchange of gifts is also done to represent, in the best way we can, that Jesus is God's gift to man.
It is also done to show love to our sisters and brothers, in this way we are sharing our love with one another.


A Mork and Mindy Christmas


As Mork heard Santa coming down the chimney,
He mistakenly thought it might be Mindy.
When he could do more than just hear Orson's voice,
He decided to see about another choice.
As he saw the presents laid under the tree,
He asked himself, "I wonder which ones are for me."

While Santa started to fill the stockings,
Mork wondered if he should start some corn for popping.
As Mork saw Santa grab his sack,
He wondered when this fellow would be back.

When Mork from Ork was turning around, he saw Mindy standing her ground.
He then walked over and gave her an embrace that showed his love to be a true case.
As Orson then called and Mork responded, Mork and Mindy were quite bonded.

Our Lord wishes us all to be like one happy family.
Whenever trouble seems to brew, we should both work towards and pray for help to come anew.
The strength that He will help us gain in such a case will help both the inner and outer self work towards a warm embrace.
As we then have talks and other nice experiences among ourselves, we will be shown how the combination of prayer and commitment helps us towards life's nicer little wells.



Father's Day Switch

Father's Day is one in which each dad may be in for a nice little switch.
While it's on it's way and will later be shown
He'll notice he's been honored and won't go through this day alone.
Cards will be given, gifts may appear,
He's sure to notice this is to be his special time of the year.

If on Father's Day he is feeling like having a few putts on the green,
Going to his Golf Club may be the proper family outing to be seen.
While the whole family has their fun with the clubs,
Dad will surely find it nicer than going to the pub.
Continually giving him the starting putt might not always be met,
But he'll find the course to be a great idea and the best one yet.
